funny (if not necessarily "passive-aggressive") notes from pissed-off peopleWed, 24 Jun 2015 22:14:37 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8By: Susanhttp://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2007/05/20/now-youre-just-bringing-it-on-yourself-dont-you-think/comment-page-1/#comment-212117

The guy lives near a park and probably has a ton of people leaving trash or letting their dogs shit on his doorstep. He can’t stand on his porch 24/7 and confront them all day. So instead he tried to remind them that a person lived there, and to be considerate. This particular note struck me as wry and a bit frustrated, but not passive aggressive, and actually, not unreasonable. Passive aggressive is when you leave notes for colleagues and roommates when you really should just talk to them. Or, perhaps, when a note gets anal-retentive, freakish and unreasonable in its complaints or demands. This one doesn’t fall into either category.

Anyway, great blog. I need a few laughs now and then.

(And incidentally, what does “now and then” really mean? I needed laughs before and now, too? Wierd.)

Be careful what you ask for…

Mon, 21 May 2007 21:48:23 +0000http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/?p=50#comment-98there is a business in McMinnville, near where I live, that actually has a sign on the door that says “Don’t fucking steal from me.”

I wonder if the person who wrote that one is related to the owner of this fine establishment?
